Although this time people will ACTUALLY have to pay ahead of time as I doubt we will have 100+ bucks to foot the bill ahead of time, and it needs to be at an assigned seating place otherwise we will be sitting god knows were, defeating most of the point. This , even though it is in a franchise is like all the movies pretty fully stand-alone. None of the movies require any understanding of the alien/predator universe. Unlike say... harry potter were you are like WTF? every 10 minutes due to some previous movie reference. I can't even think of any crossover references that matter all crazy minor in the movies and I've watched all (the good ones... aka 3 maybe 4) multiple times. Plus this is actually the "First" true Alien Movie timeline wise. Set before the "first" movie. Also directed by Ridley Scott so the likelyhood of it being good is high. If you wanted to watch them in (chronological) order you'd start with Prometheus and then this movie. In case you're unaware the alien franchise started with something that had not really been done before, that is a reasonably large budget, high quality "artsy" horror movie. Unfortunately after the second film they had mediocre directors directors until the restart recently.

Forums can be tricky with photos. I wrote out a detailed thing once to help I think. Since trying to find that sounds like a lot of not fun I'll just summarize. Image format can be important. Should be safe with jpg/jpeg, and maybe gif. bmp, tga, and png MAY work but I wouldn't count on it. Size is also important. I've seen smaller photos but if it's too big and it doesn't know how to crop/resize the image it could also just reject it outright. If you right click on any avatar image and select "view image" the file extension in the URL bar will tell you the format and it should display the size somewhere as well. You can edit the size in MS Paint or Photoshop/GIMP if you're fancy. For example http://www.detroitgothic.net/uploads/av-4589.jpg is the link to Tron's avatar. It's 75x90 pixels in size (so the max is probably 90x90.) You may also need to upload it to the server rather than use an off-site avatar link. Best of luck. If all else fails feel free to PM me and I'll see what I can do. If you show up at a gathering with a laptop I can probably do it from there too if need be.

Wondering why many big budget "historical period" movies from the late 60s-early 70s had everything right, except for certain details of hairstyles, hats, gloves, and hosiery. If you're going to spend all that money on A-list actors, costumes, locations, and sets, make the illusion complete!
